@bshaykin this thread is doing the opposite of “giving me life”

*in the style of 'blowing in the wind'* ...and how many times must one write a 'find closest `node_modules/.bin` dir relative to this view' function...

@isntitvacant these three posts were really great, i know you vow to write shorter stuff in the future, but i would happily read this if it were a full length book about the past twenty years with context from the prior forty, it's gripping and a lovely reminder of all the little things that have come and gone. thanks for writing it!

@bmp @bryanjclark i was expecting a conversation here about how classdojo had also gamified declining the upgrade path and your student had gotten a demerit as a result or something

rewatching All The Little Things and i just don't understand how the js community never ended up doing more of these kinds of talks but as far as i can tell, due to social media dynamics, it focused its energy intensely into releasing frameworks and libraries instead. i'm sure somebody else has written this, but it feels rails and django had the benefit of thriving under a blog/bulletin board-centric environment where content-rich talks were the natural outcome, not github stars or npm installs.

bluey in latin-american spanish is such a letdown. so many missed opportunities for casting, but the biggest of all seems to me bandit who sounds like the lamest dad possible in spanish. i feel like what makes him work in english is that he's both very confident and in that he projects a one-time cool, but the spanish dub makes him just sound square and marshmallowey. no disrespect to the voice actor who is clearly trying _something_, but it's really miscast. chili is also terribly miscast imo, both of them sound like they're at least ten years older than in the original mix and both sound like doughy elementary school teachers instead of Secretly Cool Parents.

From brick builder Angus MacLane, if you recognise it, I think it'll make you smile. I certainly had a little giggle. 😁
